There a good boat the old top hat

The Mk 1's were built by Baker. Over built and will probably last for 100 years plus. {now around 40 years}

Mk 2 and 3 came from Form-it, same hull mould, but different decks and internal finish. Lighter construction and the last one was built in 1986.

A fully functioning cruising Top Hat with inboard is fetching around 15K at present. The 3 to 4k TH's are only weekenders if that.

That's OK, but for the mooring you will have to check with maritime that they will allow you to buy boat/mooring and then put another boat on it.
Moorings are usually approved for a size of boat.

If you do what you want to, you may find that the next bloke on the waiting list gets the mooring and not you!

Ask maritime the questions first!

PM me the name of the TH and I might be able to tell you something about her.

On the mooring thing if the boat that should be on the mooring is away for more than 28 days you have to inform maritime.

Don't know what that will mean for me to me when I leave mine for a year while I sail around Aus next year.

Yeah theres a mooring next to mine thats been vacant for 6 months

It's fine you just have to tell them. BSO I spoke to said people sail around the world and keep their mooring!

I was just asking because I was thinking about going to nth qld for a few months/year or so.

That's very good to hear
